My small Edinburgh garden pond is full of green algae following last year's
foliage cull; yesterday I topped up the water level - today it's greener than
ever, and now I have a crop of dead tadpoles - although others are still
moving. Is it a chemical imbalance? The frogs seem ok...

Lack of oxygen I guess. Get the live ones out and into another container if you can. Tap water will do if you have nothing else.

Thanks. Hardly any dead ones now, as the remaining tads have eaten them
- there seems to be a fair bit of activity still - one or two have legs, but
mostly not as yet. I'll fish some out and keep them in reserve...
